Progent's Ransomware Settlement Negotiation Services in Barueri-Alphaville
Progent has experience negotiating ransomware settlements with hackers. Negotiating an acceptable settlement is a complex activity that requires a mix of real-word experience, IT skills and business acumen. It also calls for close co-operation with the victim's IT team and the cyber insurance provider, if any. Because the top goal of the ransomware victim is fast recovery, it is vital to establish response groups that work efficiently, concurrently, and in close communication. Progent offers the scope of IT knowledge and the depth of experts to supplement your IT staff and recover your network rapidly and economically.
Support available from Progent's ransomware negotiation team include:
- Determining the kind of ransomware used in the attack
- Identifying and communicating with the hacker persona
- Evaluating the likelihood of recovery
- Testing the threat actor's decryption tool
- Determining a settlement with the victim and the cyber insurance carrier
- Negotiating a settlement and schedule with the TA
- Checking adherence to anti-money laundering (AML) sanctions
- Carrying out the crypto-currency payment to the TA
- Receiving, learning, and operating the hacker's decryptor utility
- If necessary, contacting the hacker for assistance with the decryptor utility
- Isolating infected endpoints and data stores to prevent further spread of the attack
- Creating replicas of every breached server and endpoint and data store to allow forensics without interfering with restoration
- Adding anti-virus protection to all virus-free endpoints
- Recovering files from offline backups or unscathed endpoints
- Creating a clean recovery environment
- Remapping and reconnecting drives to match exactly their pre-encryption state
Paying Exfiltration Ransoms
Beyond extorting money for a decryption tool, modern variants of ransomware such as Ryuk, Sodinokibi, DopplePaymer, and Nephilim commonly try to exfiltrate files. Hackers can then require an extra payment in exchange for not divulging this data on the dark web. Sadly, there is no way to be certain that stolen files have been completely deleted by the threat actor. In fact, in many cases the hacker has limited control over where the information ends up. Settling an exfiltration ransom does not free you from the necessity of seeking the guidance of privacy attorneys, conducting an inventory of data were taken, and performing the required notifications to affected entities. In almost all cases, paying an exfiltration ransom is a waste.
